CENTRAL HICH CROSS COUNTRY TEAM 1919 NATIONAL INTERSCHOOLASTIC GHAMPION S; RELAY REVIEW At the start of the indoor track season, Central real- ized that so far as track was concerned she was to have an off year. The only hope we had of taking team prizes lay in the relay team, but even there we have met disappointment. When the relay squad ran against Barringer for the indoor relay title, Bill Hooper, who ran the first leg for Central, was thrown near the end of his quarter. That spill upset the chances that night. Shortly after when the boys ran at Buffalo, a clean race was run and for the only time of the season the Central goods were displayed at best. The Masten Park quartet won, but nevertheless Central also did some fine stepping, running three seconds better than the world's indoor scholastic record. At the Penn Relay Carnival, Central was walked on again. This time Reggie Farrow was the victim. At the start of the medley relay, the crowd was rather rough with Farrow and a number of them walked over him. Тһе misused one was quite skinned up and also perforated in the legs from spiked shoes. Despite these drawbacks, Farrow gathered himself together and ran a fine quarter, proving himself a better runner than any of the others by at least ten yards. After the mishap Central dropped out of the race. The next day the team ran in the one-mile relay, but Farrow was still so stiffened up from the day previous that the boys were not even able to beat the Barringer team, which took second place. And so it went all season. The best relay team that Central ever possessed, so far as making time was concerned, has so far been unable to capture a single race or championship. EAST SIDE ROLLS HIGH SCORE After winning two straights, Central ran into an- other snag when it met East Side, April 28, 1920. The Centralites played like a lot of bush leaguers and lost the game by a bad score of 17 to 4. The fireworks started in the second inning when Spinelli reached first on an error, went to second on Klein’s sacrifice bunt and scored on Bopp’s double. Bopp stole third and scored on a passed ball, thus giving the Down Neckers their first brace of tallies. Malloy’s boys repeated in the third inning, putting two more runs over the pan. Central played loose ball, making as many as 10

Пруд пре 7 6 Бо Уд ES errors throughout the game. “ЗКГ” Jacobs had to be ousted in the fourth inning in favor of Smith, who was battered around in the same fashion. Smith re- tired in the seventh inning to give way to Ryan, who finished the game on the mound. Central scored its first гип in the fourth, when Bauman singled and went to second on a passed ball and scored on Klein's hit. Two more were garnered in the sixth and the last run in the seventh for a total of 4 runs. The Central batsmen could do little with Spinelli’s delivery as his teammates backed him up in fine fashion. Bauman, who has hit in every game, was the only Centralite to get two hits from the East Side ace. Central's sluggers could not account for more than six hits, while the Down Neckers made 13 hits.

This was Central's first engagement on the home grounds, and to give Passaic ample time to get back it was agreed by both managements to play but seven innings. А fumble by Captain Morchower per- mitted Roosma to score a run that tied the score, thus giving rise to the extra innings. Passaic was first to score in the third inning. An error by Smith, a sacrifice by Schneider and a single off Knothe's bat sent Roosman across the plate. Central got busy in the fourth and sent four runs over ће pan. Hits by Murphy, Bauman, Morchower and Smullen tells the story of the four runs. Passaic scored one in the fifth and one in the sixth, making the score read 4 to 3 in Central’s favor. The teams then entered into the seventh inning, which was sup- posed to have been the last. Ski Jacobs, who had held the opponents to five scattered hits up until this time, fanned the first batter. The next man fied to Charles for the second out. Roosma, the all-state basketball forward, got his second hit, stole second and third as Smith was being walked. Rinzler then hit to Murphy, who made a perfect throw to first, but Morchower fumbled, thus allowing Roosma to bring in the tying run, Both teams then battled until the eleventh inning without a decision. Bauman might have scored in the eleventh stanza on a screeching hit by Morchower but he stumbled while cutting past third base and was caught at the plate. Morchower and Bauman batted best for Central, getting three and two hits respectively, each scoring one run. CENTRAL Bauman, If. Jacobs, p. Ele 35b. estie axis VER Morchower, Ib. Smullen, rf.
